Live eLearning and Web Collaboration Environment Also Provides Opportunities for Instructor and Staff Professional Development

Calgary, Alberta, Canada, (February 12, 2007) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and Web collaboration solutions for the real-time organization, announced today that the Calgary Board of Education (CBE), the largest school board in Alberta, has implemented Elluminate Live!® system-wide to add synchronous content to K-12 learning as well as teacher and staff professional development. CBE's entire district of 223 schools will have access to Elluminate Live! Lite Edition™ to augment work in the traditional classroom, while its online program will use Elluminate Live! Academic Edition™ in both junior and senior high environments where there is a need to work without any face-to-face interaction.

A service unit within School Support Services, Innovative Learning Services (ILS) works with CBE departments and schools to enhance student learning through the use of technology. "Over the course of a number of years, I've watched Elluminate grow and change," said ILS Director Cathy Faber. "I have always been very appreciative of what Elluminate offered in terms of tool sets, ease of use and efficiency and effectiveness of the tools. I did try a variety of synchronous tools, but there was nothing that replicated the clarity, effectiveness and reach of Elluminate Live!"

"We use Elluminate Live! extensively as a standalone tool and in conjunction with Desire2Learn," Faber continued. "It has become a critical factor at many levels. We work with a range of learning skills and abilities and find that Elluminate Live! can be easily adjusted to meet learner needs and preferences. It has become a natural sounding board and meeting place where students can drive whole agendas on their own. Elluminate Live! can also be enhanced with layers of learning from other devices and environments. I'm pleased that we are going forward with this initiative system-wide."

"Like the Calgary Board of Education, Elluminate has a vision of how technology can enhance learning in the 21st century," said Nashir Samanani, president and CEO of Elluminate. "We could not be more pleased that CBE has selected Elluminate Live! to add synchronous interaction to distance education; extend the boundaries of the traditional classroom; and meet the diverse learning needs of students, teachers and staff."
